[0002] Printing and drying are two crucial steps in the glass processing industry. Traditionally, glass printing and drying are performed separately: printing is completed on one piece of equipment, and then the printed glass is transferred to another drying machine for drying. This separate operation not only occupies a large production space and increases equipment costs, but also, due to the need for manual transfer of the glass after printing, it can easily lead to damage or displacement of the printed pattern, compromising product quality and production efficiency.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional drying equipment often uses simple hot air drying, which results in uneven hot air distribution, poor drying results, and high energy consumption. Furthermore, printing equipment also faces issues such as inaccurate positioning and easy deviation when positioning the glass, further impacting printing accuracy and results. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] The utility model provides a glass printing and hot air drying all-in-one machine, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes an equipment bin 1, a heating component 2 is installed on one side of the interior of the equipment bin 1, a drying bin 3 is installed on the top of the equipment bin 1 near the heating component 2, a printing press 4 is provided on the other side of the top of the equipment bin 1, a positioning component 6 is installed in the middle of the top of the equipment bin 1, the heating component 2 includes a heating bin 21, a plurality of electric heating plates 22 are installed inside the heating bin 21, one side of the bottom of the drying bin 3 is connected to the heating bin 21 through an air outlet duct 31, and the other side of the bottom of the drying bin 3 is connected to the heating bin 21 through an air inlet duct 32. By cleverly integrating the heating component, drying bin, printing press and positioning component into the equipment bin, continuous and efficient operation of glass printing and drying is achieved, which significantly improves production efficiency and optimizes the production process. The printing press 4 is a conventional printing device in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] Specifically, the electric heating plate in the heating assembly generates heat within the heating chamber. Hot air circulates through outlet and inlet ducts within the drying chamber, ensuring that the glass is quickly and evenly heated and dried after printing. This design not only improves drying efficiency but also avoids the problems of incomplete drying and excessive energy consumption caused by uneven hot air distribution in traditional drying methods.

[0025] At the same time, the printing machine and positioning assembly on the top of the equipment compartment work together to ensure that the glass is precisely positioned and stably supported during the printing process, thus ensuring the clarity and accuracy of the printed pattern. The positioning assembly design also takes into account the stability of the glass during transportation, further reducing the risk of printed pattern deviation or damage.

[0026] In this embodiment, a circulating air inlet fan 24 is installed on one side of the top of the heating chamber 21, and the circulating air inlet fan 24 is connected to the air outlet duct 31. A circulating air outlet fan 25 is installed on the other side of the top of the heating chamber 21, and the circulating air outlet fan 25 is connected to the air inlet duct 32. An external air inlet fan 23 is installed at one end of the heating chamber 21.

[0027] Specifically, the electric heating plates 22 are arranged at equal intervals to ensure uniform heat distribution within the heating chamber. This arrangement avoids local overheating or insufficient temperature, allowing hot air to be evenly generated and circulated within the heating chamber, providing a stable heat source for glass drying and further improving the consistency of the drying effect.

[0028] Furthermore, the drying chamber 3 is equipped with a transmission channel. A conveyor belt with ventilation holes is mounted on its inner bottom. This channel and the perforated conveyor belt ensure smooth glass transport during the drying process. The ventilation holes allow hot air to penetrate the glass, achieving double-sided drying. This structure not only improves drying efficiency but also prevents deformation or cracking of the glass due to uneven heating, ensuring the quality of the dried glass.

[0029] Furthermore, the positioning assembly 6 includes a positioning chamber 61, with through-holes 611 formed on either side of the bottom. Left and right support wheels 64 and 65 are mounted below and outside the two through-holes 611, respectively. This design ensures stable support for the glass during transport, preventing it from shaking or shifting, which could affect printing accuracy. Furthermore, the support wheels facilitate smooth glass transport, improving production efficiency.

[0030] Furthermore, a pressure cylinder 62 is mounted on the top of the positioning chamber 61. The bottom output shaft of the pressure cylinder 62 extends through the positioning chamber 61 and is equipped with a pressure roller 63. The glass to be processed passes through the drying chamber 3, the positioning chamber 61, and the printing press 4 in sequence. The upper surface of the glass is positioned by the pressure roller 63, while the lower surface is positioned by the left support roller 64 and the right support roller 65. This achieves simultaneous positioning of the upper and lower surfaces of the glass. This positioning method is not only stable and reliable, but also adapts to glass of varying thicknesses, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the printing press. Furthermore, the automatic adjustment function of the pressure cylinder ensures the stability and precision of the glass during the printing process.

[0031] Furthermore, the surface of the electric heating plate 22 is provided with several breathable mesh holes, enhancing the flow and uniformity of the hot air. This design allows the hot air to be more evenly distributed within the heating chamber, improving hot air utilization and drying efficiency. Furthermore, the breathable mesh holes prevent the thermal stress concentration caused by prolonged high-temperature operation of the electric heating plate, thereby extending the service life of the device.

[0032] Furthermore, both the left support wheel 64 and the right support wheel 65 are mounted on the outside of the positioning chamber 61 via bearing supports. This mounting method not only improves the stability and load-bearing capacity of the support wheels but also facilitates their maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, the design of the bearing supports reduces noise and vibration during operation, improving the overall operational stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0033] When using the integrated glass printing and hot air drying machine of the present invention, the device is first turned on, and the electric heating plates 22 in the heating assembly 2 begin to operate, generating heat. Because the electric heating plates 22 are evenly spaced, the heat within the heating chamber 21 is evenly distributed. The circulating air inlet fan 24 and circulating air outlet fan 25 are activated, creating a hot air circulation system. The external air inlet fan 23 also operates synchronously, introducing fresh air to supplement the circulating air volume and ensure an adequate supply of hot air.

[0034] The glass to be processed enters the drying chamber 3 through a conveyor system. Drying chamber 3 is equipped with a conveyor channel, and a conveyor belt with ventilation holes is installed on the bottom of the channel. Hot air enters the drying chamber 3 through the air outlet pipe 31 and passes through the ventilation holes in the conveyor belt, drying the glass on both sides. The dried hot air returns to the heating chamber 21 through the air inlet pipe 32, forming a closed-loop circulation.

[0035] The dried glass continues forward and enters the positioning chamber 61 of the positioning assembly 6. Left and right support wheels 64 and 65 are located on either side of the bottom of the positioning chamber 61, providing stable support for the glass. Simultaneously, the pressing cylinder 62 is activated, pressing the top surface of the glass into position via the pressing wheel 63. With both the top and bottom surfaces of the glass positioned simultaneously, it passes stably through the printing press 4 for printing. The printing press 4 prints the glass according to the preset pattern, ensuring the clarity and accuracy of the printed pattern.

[0036] After printing, the glass continues to move forward through the transmission system and is finally output from the other end of the equipment warehouse 1. During the entire process, the various components in the equipment warehouse 1 work together to achieve continuous and efficient operation of the glass from drying to printing.

[0037] During operation, the control system allows real-time adjustment of parameters such as heating temperature, hot air circulation speed, and conveyor belt speed to accommodate glass processing of varying specifications and thicknesses. The left and right support wheels 64 and 65 are mounted on the outside of the positioning chamber 61 via bearing supports, facilitating maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, the bearing support design reduces noise and vibration during operation, improving the overall smoothness and reliability of the equipment.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the electronic components of the printer 4 and other components in this embodiment are all universal standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or through conventional experimental methods. In the idle area of ​​this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components are connected separately through wires.
